The Clone Wars TV show
I just don't even know where to begin. So much facepalming, so little time. Or, alternatively, it just really isn't my thing.
#1: WTF is up with the boob window on Ventris? Also why is Anakin's padawan running around in a bra top? (A sports bra top, but still!) The guys are all fully clothed. The women in every other Star Wars anything on the planet are fully clothed. (Barring one chain mail bikini incident due to a bad guy.) I repeat: W. T. F!?
#2: The Jedi are so fracking powerful that everyone else is completely irrelevant. Good thing there are fifty billion totally useless battle droids for the clone troopers to shoot. (But not, I notice, for Amidala to do more than shoot at. -_-) Damned thing might as well be a superhero show.
#3: Can we please decide if droids are sapient or not? Because they act sapient, not merely programed to emulate it, but the ability to think is stated as one thing clones have over droids. (Which is WTFy enough by itself.)
#4: I cannot get over the army of cloned, indoctrinated slaves soldiers . That is flat out EVIL. Good thing the Separatists and allies manage to be more evil. (Does make the Republic of SW:TOR look better, I suppose. But not even the Sith Empire is that evil in SW:TOR, as far as I can tell. They may have slavery, but at least the slaves aren't cannon fodder. I mean, seriously, What the Flying Fuck Clone War era Republic!? And, yeah, I know, it's in the prequel trilogy, too. Makes it not a bit less WTFy.)
#5: Holy crap had I forgotten how man-centric the Star Wars universe is outside of SW:TOR. I'm two discs in and I think there have been a total of four women on screen. (I'm not sure, because I don't trust my ability to gender the species the maybe-woman was.) Ahsoka (Anakin's padawan), Amidala, a Jedi (who had to be saved by Asoka), and a person on a hospital station (maybe). Thanks to the whole clone trooper thing, every soldier is a man. And so, apparently, are most of the Jedi. If I were just going on The Clone Wars, I'd have to assume mpreg must be canon. There's no fraking way for the population to continue otherwise. (The clone prejudice proves everyone's not clones.)
#6: It's official. The Jedi make no sense. Whatsoever. At all. *throws up hands* But I suppose one can hardly argue with the "wisdom" of a pack of lightsaber wielding supers.
